Jason Hogans – New Culture Earthskills

“I love wild nature. I love the idea of living in balance with the natural world and teaching wilderness living skills makes me happy. I have been into wilderness living in a hands-on way since about 2006 and have taught at group events like birthday parties and festivals, as well as private tutoring sessions in the setting of my client’s choice.”
